“…Thiede et al argue that environmentally related aspects are currently not sufficiently considered as standard functions in manufacturing system simulation tools [31]. One potential solution approach is presented by Herrmann et al where a flexible energy flow-oriented manufacturing system was simulated [32]. Similarly, Zhao et al analyze the sustainability impact of manufacturing by introducing a new information model for product lifecycle management that integrates an energy simulation framework [33].…”

Industrial production plays an important role for achieving a green economy and the sustainable development goals. Therefore, the nascent transformation of industrial production due to digitalization into a so-called Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) is of great interest from a sustainable development point of view. This paper discusses how the environmental dimension of a sustainable development can potentially benefit from the IIoT-focusing especially on three topics: resource efficiency, sustainable energy and transparency. It presents a state of the art literature analysis of IIoT-enabled approaches addressing the three environmental topics. This analysis is compared with the findings of a survey among Chinese industrial companies, investigating the sustainability-related expectations of participants coming along with the implementation of IIoT solutions. China has been chosen as a case study because it brings together a strong industrial sector, ambitious plans regarding industrial digitalization and a high relevance and need for more sustainability. The survey was conducted with the means of a questionnaire which was distributed via email and used for direct on-site interviews. It focused on large and medium sized companies mainly from Liaoning Province and had a sample size of 109 participants.

“…25 A more IT-related concept is the energy simulation of manufacturing systems, where a flexible energy flow-oriented manufacturing system was simulated. 26 Schmidt et al present a methodology for the reliable prediction of energy consumption of arbitrary manufacturing processes based on measurements and existing knowledge. 27 A more general approach also aiming at energy efficiency in manufacturing is the methodology for planning and operating energy-efficient production systems.…”

Industrial production is currently undergoing a fundamental transformation, leading towards a digitalized and interconnected industrial production, which is subsumed under the term Industrial Internet (of Things) or Industrie 4.0. This paper discusses the changes that digitalization is expected to bring about in the industrial sector by comparing a highly industrialized (Germany) with a major emerging industrial economy (China). We conducted two empirical surveys asking manufacturing companies from different sectors in Germany and China respectively, how they expect the digitalization of their processes will affect them. Both questionnaires addressed the future of work in production and the future of production itself. The main contribution of this paper is its empirical investigation of how the digitalization of industry is likely to affect sustainability aspects of manufacturing companies in two countries with very different industrial structures. Our findings suggest that this transformation will not only impact the ecological dimension (resource efficiency, renewable energy), but that the technical transformation is likely to be accompanied by social transformations.The findings of this paper will help decision-makers in the political sphere to anticipate and shape pathways towards a more sustainable future in the industrial sector.

“…These facilities consume additional energy inputs which can contribute to a significant share of energy consumption in a manufacturing plant. Existing studies in this case illustrate that energy consumption of TBS can account for approximately 35-40% of the total energy consumption (Herrmann, Thiede, Kara & Hesselbach, 2011). Consequently, it is necessary to bring all the TBS components into the combined studies of production and on-site energy supply management to achieve more realistic representation of energy flows in a manufacturing plant.…”

Integrated management of manufacturing plant's production and on-site energy supply systems has shown potential economic, environmental and resource efficiency advantages for the industry. However, existing approaches are solely based on pure mathematical models with a high degree of abstraction with limited applicability, which becomes impractical for industrial applications. In this paper a simulation methodology for production parameters selection and on-site energy supply management is presented. In this case, state-based models and operational strategies of manufacturing processes and on-site energy supply options are integrated to represent interdependency between production processes, technical building services and on-site energy supply system. As a result, the proposed methodology covers manufacturing system complexity without compromising the required accuracy. This is applied to a batch based manufacturing plant and the impact of particular production parameters on energy demand profile is evaluated. The results indicate the impact of production parameters on energy supply system. In addition, the proposed approach enables manufacturers to evaluate the implications of potential production approaches in order to select appropriate operational strategies for on-site energy supply systems.
